Do you still believe in Santa? (read details please)

Well, there was a little girl that I ran into while I was at the homeless shelter today, asked me if I believed in Santa. I told her that I believe in Santa, and that Santa lives in every person.
She then told me that santa was going to give her family a house for Christmas.
I didn’t know what to say. I told her no matter what just keep believing. Everything is going to get better, and Santa and his friends are going to help.
Do you think I should have told her that?
